Have to disagree with this. Redis is dead simple to install and configure out of the box. This seems like a solution to a nonexistent problem.

- mgrouchy 16y agoI would add a seemingly expensive solution to this non-existant problem. It may kind of makes sense for heroku because afaik they don't offer redis support out of the box.
- jackowayed 16y agoYeah, I would definitely consider using the $25 plan with Heroku. The only other real option is to run Redis on its own EC2 instance, which costs $62 minimum (well, once you're sure the thing's sticking around, you could make it a reserved instance I guess). Now, that's a lot more powerful, but if I'm using something that doesn't even need the 100MB of RAM, I might as well save some money and use Redis to Go. Plus you get the added bonus of still not having to worry about any piece of your infrastructure.
- waratuman 16y agoRedis is dead simple, but having another server isn't. While most people can easily handle this, managing systems can often spin out of control. If you are starting a project would you rather handle another server or just have someone else manage it and be done in under a min?
- fictorial 16y agoThere are ways to automate server configuration though. AMIs, Chef, Puppet, even Linode's StackScripts.
